Dream on. Ben will print like there’s no tomorrow. They quit caring about unemployment and GDP growth years ago.
I would say it’s hard to figure out how health care costs will function by 2016. My humble opinion is that more people will be on their own looking for health care options, than there were in 2008 before we started this. And that might be something that the news people won’t be able to avoid talking about (even small stations will be dumping their health care options for TV journalists).
If they had actually gone out and developed limitations on lawsuits and legal limits....they would have cut around twenty-five percent of all health costs. But that just wasn’t in the plans that they were building.
In ten years...most people will just shake their heads and wonder what this was supposed to do. Other than costing more and ending health care options for thirty million Americans who had health insurance....there’s no plus-up.
